This question is another version of the old "How long is a piece of
string?" question.

The short answer is: yes, of course!

The long answer brings in all kinds of issues that have to be addressed,
regardless of the RDBMS choice - is the network secure and reliable? do
the developers understand client/server? are they writing safe code? are
they writing optimal code? are they getting good advice when things don't
work as expected? is the database structure well-tested for integrity
before going live? is the DBA taking good care of backup and cleanup?
